Rocket Man, your quotation from

Rocket Man, your quotation from Paulin’s poem reminds me that I have wanted to post a scholarly article by Judge Alex Kozinski and Professor Eugene Volokh. The article discusses the use of Yiddish words in judicial opinions. The article was originally written in 1993 and published in the Yale Law Journal, but Professor Volokh thought it was a sufficiently important contribution to knowledge that he has updated it and posted it on his Web site. You can tell from reading it that these guys have a little too much rattling around in their heads, but I found virtually every paragraph of it to be funny: “Lawsuit, Shmawsuit.”
